The FIFA break is over and Sporting Kansas City and the Columbus Crew are set to return to action. Except, one team actually got a bit more of a break than the other. Sporting KC were thrashed by Minnesota United FC in the opening round of the US Open Cup. The Crew on the other hand defeated the Pittsburgh Riverhounds which earned them a home game against Atlanta United that they dropped on Tuesday and they’ll have short rest headed into Sunday’s SKC game.
Neither team is in particularly good form.
